* StarDerailingRole: her role in the critically panned ''Film/SouthlandTales'' is often decried as the bridge between Sarah Michelle Gellar being a teen idol who starred in Summer blockbusters to working on much smaller, independent projects that usually only get a limited release. Starring alongside the late and great Robin Williams in ''LiveActionTV/TheCrazyOnes'' offered a small resurgence in her career and won her a people's choice award, but the show itself only got lukewarm ratings and was cancelled after one season.

Added DiffLines:

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: In one episode of ''Buffy'' her character is transformed into a rat by a witch's curse. This was due to Sarah being exhausted by the long hours on set, leading to the writers turning Buffy into a rat so she could get some well-earned rest.

* IAmNotLeonardNimoy: Although she's done other work, including situational comedy, she only really has a single character; a greater or less intense version of the ActionGirl she played in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer. Also, people who know Gellar personally have said that when she acts, she's often just playing Sarah Michelle Gellar in a costume.
